<p>Is the online Stat 21 class during the summer with Stark (Stat W21) easier than Stat 21 during fall or spring?
How is the homework graded? I heard the grade is 50% homework and 50% final, making the homework grades important..is it if you do them you get 100%?</p>
<p>Thanks</p>
<p>First of all, the hw are actually graded, so it’s not based on effort.</p>
<p>The online version use to be A LOT easier than the normal version because Stark gave extra credit for getting 100% on the hw, making the final less important. But, he ended that last summer so it’s not as easy as it use to be.</p>
<p>I don’t think anyone can give u a direct comparison since I think very few people have taken both the semester and summer version. But, I found the summer version to be pretty straight-forward, as in as long as u learn the material the rest should be doable. But, a lot I knew had trouble with the final and concepts of the material so I’m not sure what to say. It might be that because it’s harder to learn in an online setting as oppose to a normal face-to-face lecture or that people just didn’t do the hw and copied each other.</p>
